Mike Rowe, a noted British blues historian, here places the growth of the music within the matrix of the city. Names of long-forgotten clubs, the pioneer record companies, and neglected singers and guitarists fill many gaps in the history of the period. Portraits of such powerful figures as the Chess brothers, Willie Dixon, Vivian Carter, and Jimmy Bracken amplify the comments of the musicians themselves.Rowe, Mike is the author of 'Chicago Blues The City and the Music' with ISBN 9780306801457 and ISBN 0306801450.
